Introvert

A Scientific Explanation and Guide to an Introvert's Mind

De: Madge Falco

Narrado por: Sheree Wichard

Understand the introvert within you and position yourself for success.

I'm shy. I make excuses - even lie - to avoid certain social situations. I've been called anti-social, awkward, and odd. The way I behave doesn't feel unnatural, but I'm constantly being told it is. I'm afraid of confrontation and disagreement. I lack confidence in my abilities, I'm reluctant to defend myself, and I get taken advantage of by others...a lot. And worst of all, I don't know why. That was me, before writing this book. If it sounds familiar, then it's time for you to take action to eliminate the negativity. Why are you the way that you are? The answers are inside.

Here is a preview of what you'll learn:

• The definition of "introvert"
• Genetic differences between introverts and extraverts
• Why and how introverts think differently
• Is an introvert's unhappiness "real," or is it merely a reflection of living in an extraverted world?
• Common characteristics of successful introverts
• How to win in an extravert's world
• How to embrace introversion and use it to your advantage

Behind every "why" is a "because." Don't let ignorance prevent you from reaching your full potential. Start learning why you are who you are now, and make today day one of the new you.

Insight Into the Introvert Personality

Introvert was a good, informative listen although it was a little dry. There was great insight into what makes the introvert, as opposed to the extravert, tick. I think the introvert is the personality type that gets confused the most with other types such as narcissism. This book does touch base on the narcissist type. I think this is a good book for the person that wants to learn more about themselves if they think they may be introverts and on the other side of the coin, the person who wants to understand them.

Sheree Wichard does a nice job narrating this book. She speaks clearly and slowly making the book easy to follow. Her pacing is perfect; not too slow, not too fast. An overall good study into the introvert personality type.

Interesting insights into the introvert's plight.

I enjoyed this audiobook. Got a few new insights into my wife's temperament.

I guess I was not fully aware (or convinced) that there is indeed a full scale war on introverts.

This would be an interesting listen for anyone who needs some encouragement in an extrovert's world, or for the extrovert who is trying to foster a sense of extrovert guilt.

All in all. This was worth listening to. The narration was great.

As an introvert myself I found this book quite helpful. Interesting and well written it's definitely worth a listen.

The narration was well done and enjoyable.

Not too special

This book is alright if you want a broad overview of the current state of the research being done on introversion. Not a good reference if you want specific information. If you already know a bit about introverts, then this book won't be much help. I suggest reading Quiet instead.

Excellent look...at myself

After listening to a quick sample of this book I was hooked: "Hey, that's me!" was my response. So I got the book...and I was not disappointed.

First off, this is a book everyone would benefit listening to. Why?
1. It is short--you can listen to this in one or two sittings.
2. It is relevant; you are either an introvert or you know those that are. You will benefit from understanding others and/or yourself much better.

So buy this book! You may just discover that you are not the only person that insists on keeping his/her office door closed, that uses sound cancelling headphones, that hates change, or that has a very, VERY difficult time in social settings. I especially appreciate the discussion as to how we are not one way or the other (introvert or extrovert) but somewhere along the pendulum of the two. And that the pendulum can move; we may be one way when we are young and another when we are old.

I may just listen to this one again. Awesome job! Again, I am no psychologist and my days of Psychologist 101 were long before any of my students were even born, but as a historian....awesome job!
